All who could do so on the day above mentioned visited the church four miles from Irkutsk, where Saint Inakentief lies buried. I occupied the fashionable hours of the two days before my departure in making farewell visits according to Russian etiquette. Not satisfied with their previous courtesy my friends arranged a dinner at the club rooms for the last evening of my stay at Irkutsk.
Our soups, meat, pies, et cetera were frozen and only needed thawing at the stations to be ready for use. The day before my departure was the peculiar property of Saint Inakentief, the only saint who belongs especially to Siberia. Everybody kept the occasion in full earnest, the services commencing the previous evening when nearly everybody got drunk.
